Lemberk Castle was built by rebuilding a medieval castle where St. Zdislava of Lemberk lived and, according to legend, performed miracles. Visitors will be surprised by the rich Baroque decoration of the courtyard when they arrive; inside the castle, the chapel, the hall with a rare coffered ceiling with painted scenes from Aesop's Fables, the armoury and the black kitchen, where cooking was done on an open fire, are the most interesting. The castle interiors with their stuccoed ceilings, furnished with historical furniture, paintings, glass and ceramics or other art objects, give an idea of the life of the nobility in the waning Renaissance and the emerging Baroque period. The personality of St. Zdislava of Lemberk is commemorated by the so-called Zdislava's little world from the 17th century, where, according to the legend of the time, the pious noblewoman used to stay and meditate. Not far from the chateau there is also the so-called Zdislava's Well.
